  Something you can do about comment rot in the meantime:
  
  Change your settings so that you receive an email notification of every comment you receive, including your own. If that's way too much commentary for your regular inbox, I suggest opening a gmail account just for this purpose and setting that address as your account's email address for the time being.
  
  This means that, for one thing, no matter what vanishes, you'll have a copy of it stored if you need to refer to it.
  
  But in addition, I've often found that, if a comment of mine vanished and I had a notification in my email box, just clicking on the link to the specific comment could restore it. My hypothesis is that the connection between the comment and the post gets disengaged, so the comment is still there, but the system doesn't know where to put it. Clicking on the link "reminds" it, and it gets restored. I can't guarantee that it'll work 100% of the time, but I've had good results doing that.
  
  And as Insanity said, it's a lot more complicated a problem than the sale... it's going to take some time to puzzle out, especially because, while LJ coders caused the problem in the first place, they've been less generous about sharing coding information and have never told anyone how they solved the problem over there. Squeaky's had to start from scratch.

    You can see my reply to Insanity here in regards to the sale. I think my point was misconstrued. I understand it takes time.
    
    I get notifications emailed to me, but I haven't had it so that it sends me my own comments as well, so I'll do that, thanks! That's a really great suggestion. I haven't ever experienced the reappearing comment phenomena though. Generally what happens to me is that it will wipe out all comments to a post (seemingly at random, because it's occurred to posts with a high and relatively miniscule comment count). It's just bothersome. Which ties into my point about the sale, that I'm sure in the long run, Squeaky would profit more from a sale held after issues were fixed. I know the 30 dollars is an incentive for me, but I'd be more than happy to pay 50 or 60 again if it meant everything was working as it should. :)

    Ah on second thought, it seems like getting a copy of your own comments is only available if you have a paid account.
